Outliars Improv Comes to Stand-Up Scottsdale

Outliars Improv is a troupe of traveling improv comics under the leadership of Dave Thurston, a local comedian who studied at Chicago's famed Second City comedy club and school of improvisation. Since improv is created on the fly, each show is completely unique -- you could even go twice in one night and see two entirely different shows. A cast of five to ten players, age 19-50, chosen from Thurston's comedy classes, take suggestions from the audience. If you've ever seen improv or the popular TV show Who's Line Is it Anyway? then you know the score. Outliars Improv specializes in clean comedy, creating characters that are unique and funny without stepping into the gutter to get laughs.

Reviews & Ratings

The venue was intimate and there was a lot of audience participation. The host and the bigger player were by far the most talented. It was incredibly hot though. A couple of the comedians were wonderful but there was one older woman who was truly not funny in the least and every "joke" was a political slam against white people who made up the audience.
